I agree. There is something about this scene that is amazing. The balance of perception, humor and maybe even stigma all flow in some peaceful way. It’s a piece of art. Ironic as it may be.

@@agenttheater5 There are so many opinions on this in Judaism that aren't considered heretical by any sect that honestly it's hilarious that they only invited one rabbi.
"There is unity in division." "And division in unity." This is so smart - the Patriarch's statement is a reflection on the nature of Eastern Orthodoxy - a great tapestry of churches all in communion with one another, be they centred in Constantinople, Moscow, or elsewhere. Regardless of language, they follow the same rules, and the same service, and an Arabic speaker of the Antiochian Orthodoxy can visit a Romanian Orthodox service and follow along, despite the language barrier. In other words, "unity in division" - divided by language and geography, but all part of a single community. Meanwhile, the Protestant Minister is remarking upon the nature of the many denominations that formed following the Reformation - Methodists, Lutherans, Calvinists, Presbyterians, etc. Each follows the five principles of Luther, like Sola Scriptura, but each worship in differing ways and observe disparate traditions. Despite numerous divisions, they are united in common beliefs.
“So God is split?” Yes… and No! There is unity in division. And division in unity!” I had a Catholic Priest professor tell me one day, “Christ is 100% God, 100% Man, and not schizophrenic.” This film in one expository scene explains the entire Christian conundrum AND has a Rabbi spitballing from the sidelines checking his watch it’s truly brilliant.
I watched Hail Caesar for the first time flying from… eh, one place to another, sitting in first class. I had my headphones on, and shut out everything going on around me. I wasn’t expecting a comedy, but it wasn’t long before it became apparent. I could barely contain myself! I tried so hard to suppress the sound of my laughter. I did a lot of silent hysterical laughing, eyes shut, hand over mouth. When it was over, the guy sitting next to me asked knowingly, “How did you like it?” Duh. He told me that it didn’t do so well in theaters. I paused, then replied, “I’ll bet that a lot of people didn’t get it”, with which he agreed. Anyhow, brilliantly acted!
I think it didn't do well because the title is misleading. Just like you did not expect a comedy. The title suggests a movie about Cesar, some outdrawn costume-drama perhaps. Not so. This movie is a diamond! But I think the title drew a) only a small crowd and b) the wrong croud. A pity.
I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected. I think people expected something different due to the awful marketing campaign. Neither their best nor their worst, and this was one of the highlights.
"God is... who is!" "This is special? Who isn't who he is?" It reminds me that one day my father came back from jewish services and said he learned who god is. I asked who god was. My father said that god answered, "I am that I am". For the next 40 years I wondered what the heck that meant! It made no sense to me. In two minutes, this scene sums up 2000 years of disagreement between religions about god. Amazing.
The Hebrew “ayeh asher ayeh” having no tense makes it less confusing. Especially since the Tetragrammaton is an anagram of “he was” “he is” and “he shall be”. “I am what I was” “I was what I will be” etc etc. All in one sentence, then made into one word. That’s amazing. That’s what’s frustrating about any translation of anything, be it fiction, nonfiction, prose, verse… The subtleties can add up to a big deal. I’ve spent weeks trying to translate ton word bubble of a manga so I could have a 5 min conversation with my wife about a page.
An interesting thing people don't seem to notice is when the religious leaders say "There is unity in division ---- and division in unity". This wasn't some meaningless dialogue, it applies to the central theme of film making, as well as Christianity, Capitalism and Communism, which are the other three parallel themes of this film - the USSR being a UNION of Soviet Socialist Republics, that is, DIVISION IN UNITY; these individual unions and the soviet people united in a common goal: Communism through socialism (as opposed to individualism). In capitalism, individualism (as opposed to socialism) and division of labor within the system forms the foundational basis designed with a unity of purpose: the accumulation of capital (UNITY IN DIVISION). The main theme (that of film making) shows how the many different roles work together to form a single picture (division in unity, unity in division), best explained at the end of the film when Eddie tells Bairlock: "You're gonna do it because you're an actor and that's what you do, just like how the directer does what he does and the writer and the script girl and the guy who claps the slate. You're gonna do it because the picture has WORTH! And you have worth if you serve the picture..." The picture (film) is god, and everyone working on the picture through doing their different, individual jobs, working together, fulfill their purpose in serving it. Division of roles united by a single purpose - to create a film. Unity in division, division in unity. This is done to show how each of these themes aren't much different form each other. All of this alluded in two simple phrases...while still being hilarious. This film's writing is excellent.
Seriously though, a rabbi would never react like that to the phrase “He is who He is” because that’s the actual name of God in Hebrew! 😂 I love that scene so much 😂😂😂
I like the subtle choices of the actor playing the Patriarch. He focuses on the action scene instead of the theology presented by the movie. "I've seen worse" implies he has seen and formed opinions of other similar movies. He's a film buff. That and he nods at the priest while the priest is discussing Catholic theology because they pretty much don't differ.
I grew up a Methodist in a largely Catholic community. In college, I learned about all of the Mel Brooks Jew jokes I didn't get as a kid who grew up without knowing actual Jews. I loved Mel Brooks' movies, but missed many of his jokes. (My Jewish friends filled me in about the "in" jokes I missed.) When I saw this in theater I laughed hysterically, beyond anything I laughed at in a movie in years. This is one of the most brilliant comidies ever made. I also love how all four religious leaders can only agree that Baird Whitlock is a great talent.
I watched this film a while back. I remember enjoying it but feeling it was an imperfect film but I could remember why. Years later, I watched it again and realized what it was: it's too short! The ending is so abrupt, it feels like a song that's hitting a perfect groove and doesn't resolve.
All Coen Bros. movies are like that. It’s an extremely Jewish storytelling thing to get to the point of the story and just end, maybe with a little thing at the end to ponder.
@@GretchZ I'm a big fan of the Coens. This one seemed a little bit truncated even taking that into account. It may have been intentional, but it didn't didn't hit as well as Fargo or No Country, which are more towards dramas now that I think about it. With their comedies, they would typically have a narrator or tertiary character wrap things up thematically. This one has the narrator, but it the wrap up doesn't hit the same, very brief. Clooney gets the big speech, but obviously it's a bit more metaphorical and hiding the meaning a bit more. Plus it's a scene earlier than the ending bit. Since this is one is specifically about movies and the messages they convey, I'm thinking this is intentional.
I remember seeing this with my friend - he is Jewish and me I'm a rather well educated agnostic - needless to say we laughed so much because we got the references and Robert Picardo was spot on as the Rabbi!
The Orthodox goes straight to the point and keeps it short; the Catholic delivers a passionate theological treatise; the Protestant plays wingman and keeps it polite; the Jew quips and looks down on everyone. Now tell me this isn’t true to life.
This was a really funny movie. I really enjoyed it. I am surprised however that there is no hate and flaming the comment section here. It's unusual since in these types of videos there are arguments and people getting into violent discussions about religion and spirituality.
2:55 I love his excitement in explaining the triune God. He is 3 in one, the father, the son and the Holy Spirit. not seperate gods but instead 3 different positions of importance that allow us to have a relationship with God. Without our spirit we could not know Jesus the son and without Jesus we cannot know God the father.
As a Jew, it’s amazing. “I haven’t an opinion” is either the first time in his life he hasn’t had at least one opinion, or he’s lying. There’s a saying: one Jew, two opinions, and he’s a rabbi! Oy, he’d usually have like three! If he’s lying he showed up for a laugh. If he has an opinion or two, he showed up for a laugh. We don’t care what goyim do, if they leave us alone and aren’t hurting people.
While this scene is very funny, it doesn’t necessarily put down the dogma (when it could easily have done so), or make the PR/fixer guy look like an idiot. Excellent writing, casting, and timing.
2:48 Interesting point. While the Catholic priest is talking the Orthodox priest is nodding his head and the Protestant or Baptist or whatever he is priest or pastor or whichever is the correct title for him is sort of just looking at him with a very hard set mouth. Did the script get what it said about Catholicism in that short speech right? Why would the Orthodox priest agree and the other priest not so much (he didn't outright object but he didn't really seem to agree).
Baptists/Protestants, as a rule, do not like Catholicism even if they agree with one particular point or another. Orthodox Christians are a bit closer to Catholics.
Orthodoxy is similar to Catholicism in that they teach and present the gospel in traditional rituals within a hierarchical church. Protestantism teaches and presents the gospel "sola scriptura", or by itself. All three differ in the presentation of spirituality, the existence of holy individuals, and the path to the afterlife, but Orthodoxy and Catholicism are closer in this way than Protestantism. Not an expert, just a practicing Catholic What the Catholic priest says is a summation of what you would hear every Catholic mass, even using some of the key phrases. My wife and I busted up laughing when he said "Yes...and no!" because it's so relatable
Eastern Orthodox is the eastern half of the Roman Catholic Church, which split from the main church about a thousand years ago. But apparently some theological remnants are still the same. I'm not sure why the protestant minister would object to the concept of the trinity though, unless it is in the nuances.
"We want to know if the depiction of christ jesus cuts the mustard." "So, god is split?" "Yes and no." "I'm not sure I follow." "Young man, you don't follow for a very simple reason. These men are screwballs." This one scene puts the whole religion debate in a hilarious nutshell.
This is the most accurate representation of me arguing with myself as a child raised by Unitarians but in a Trinitarian school, with Jewish and Catholic friends... Now i'm an atheist ...go figure.
3:03 What exactly is the difference? Between the Orthodox priests 'There is unity in division' and the protestant or baptist (I forget which one he is) 'Division in unity'. I'm not religious so I don't really get if there's a difference.
This was one of the best scenes of the movie. It succeeded in being both respectful to the faiths and funny at the same time.

I wish the movie had the balls to be less "respectful".
